West Ham Transfer Talk: Jonathan David, Ismael Kone

By

West Ham United have certainly been one of the more interesting, i.e. active clubs this summer transfer window, but we're still waiting on a really big splash signing. Not just in East London, but for everybody really. (Kylian Mbappe doesn't really count because we've known about that one for many months already).
